Sweet potatoes aren’t potatoes either.

5 hours into the streaming, Gojira takes the 1st place. They were even better than I expected.

And I really like to hear all the bands’ takes on Black Sabbath songs.

I’m watching the livestream.

Halestorm was my favorite performance and I didn’t know them.

They believe that the loopholes around the rules make the lifestyle that God intended for them.

While at war with them?

There’s a lot of Indian dishes that are very easy to make. Try dal. Delicious and easy.

We should ask Randall Munroe what would happen if we did this.

Thanks! That’s really nice of you.

I don’t think a membre of the security council csn really “abuse” veto power. What do you think would happen if they couldn’t?

Again, I’d like to say that there can be value in such an association. Just as I see value in associations like ICC and NATO. They’re just not a forum to solve disputes and that’s OK.

Not a dumb question and welcome to Lemmy! Not sure if this is a joke or not considering what we were just discussing just now but I’ll send you a PM in case you mean it.

I’ve received a few texts in the past, or messages in WhatsApp, that start by a message apparently sent to the wrong person. Sometimes they had the photo of an a young attractive lady. When you reply, they continue conversing anyway, as if they were bored. By after a while, it gets pretty clear it’s fake. I had one go from broken English short messages to elaborate ChatGPT messages to feign interest in fringe interests I expressed having.

There could be value in such an association, but it wouldn’t replace the UN, far from it.

What’s your proposing is akin to the ICC, where willing states join and agree to comply with its rulings.

The UN serves as a forum for all countries of the world. If no privileges were given to the world’s most powerful countries, they might just leave it, severaly reducing its use in the process.

Yea, the Nazis were famously short on oil. They badly needed USSR’s oil fields.

I may be wrong but I think China needs that straight open, mayb3 even more than the US do.

I expect China wouldn’t be happy about the Straight of Hormus being closed though.

I’ve neither watched the movies, nor read the original. I didn’t know about this character before today.

I’m as opposed to genocide and fascism as anyone else here, but I don’t see how that’s different from any other nuclear power’s policy of using nuclear weapons when its existence is threatened.

EDIT: nevermind, the article starts off by saying the nuclear weapon would be used against the invader, but then multiple authors refer to their launch to indiscriminate targets around the world, a nuclear winter, etc.

The Soviets were about to invade the Japanese empire when the US dropped the atomic bombs. They did this just to prevent Japan from falling in USSR’s sphere of influence.

However, you might still be thankful as South Korea likely wouldn’t exist otherwise, being instead merely the agrarian South of a juche unified Korea.

Maybe it would be so unusual to not believe in God that it wasn’t worth mentionning.

Maybe he found a good spot where the vegetation wasn’t as dense and tall?

Also, it’s the 19th century. How long has it been since native populations were much higher? Could have been an overgrown old field.
